Toilets, the Transgendered, and the Law
By Jack of Kent at 11:48

http://jackofkent.blogspot.com/2010/08/toilets-and-transgendered.html

To what extent should the law regulate which toilet a transgendered person can use?

Should equality law enable transgendered people to use the toliet of their choice, in respect of either public toilets or toilets on private premises (eg, pubs and restaurants)?

Or should the law relating to, say, breaches of the peace be used to prevent transgendered people, especially male to female (MTF), intruding into the "space" reserved for a particular gender?
